[Third Person's PoV]
Tony and lissa were recorded flying across Arica, assisting Stars and Stripes with her hero work. They helped as many people as they could, quickly becoming an internet sensation once it was revealed that Iron Man and Tony Stark were one and the sa.
In one scene, Tony and lissa were seen flying around a toppled building, repairing the damage by wielding red lasers. After completing the repairs, they took off into the sky once more.
As the sun began to set, Tony and lissa stood before Stars and Stripes. "Good work, you two. Let's call it a day. Today, I wanted you both to learn that helping people is the main focus of being a hero, not just battling. That's why I didn't let you fight anyone but today. From what I saw, I'm confident you've learned that lesson well. Tomorrow, things will get a bit more intense as you'll truly start facing villains."
Stars and Stripes gave them a final pat on the shoulder. "Once again, you two were great out there. The people seem to love you."
With that, they said their goodbyes to Stars and Stripes before blasting off into the sky. She watched them go with her hands on her hips, a large smile on her face.
As they flew through the air, lissa said, "I'm going to visit my dad before heading back ho."
"I'll visit mine before doing the sa," Tony agreed.
"I'll see you back ho, then," lissa said, leaning in close and making a kissing sound as she tapped her helt against his cheek. "Bye, love you."
Tony didn't even get a chance to say it back before lissa's legs shifted into rocket thrusters, and she blasted off.
Tony laughed, shaking his head as his own legs transford into thrusters. He veered slightly to the right, away from lissa, before turning invisible.
When he arrived at his parents' backyard, Tony deployed giant thrusters to slow down, landing safely. His nanotech shifted back into his reactor, returning him to his regular clothes.
The guards and maids in the backyard were startled at first, taking combat positions. But when they saw it was Tony, they relaxed.
"It's nice to see you again, Young Master," a guard by the door nodded toward Tony.
"Yo, Patrick," Tony said, giving the man a high five as he entered the house.
The guard looked at his partner in confusion. "My na is Daniel…"
Inside, Tony grabbed his sunglasses from his pocket and began searching for his parents, eventually finding them in the kitchen. As he approached, he heard them talking and giggling in a lovey-dovey way, causing him to make a disgusted expression. When he peeked inside, he found Howard feeding Maria a chocolate-covered strawberry, which she happily ate while Baymax prepared more in the kitchen.
"Yuck, y'all do this when no one's looking?" Tony asked, startling them with his presence.
"My God, Tony, you almost gave a heart attack!" Howard said, holding his chest.
Maria wiped the chocolate from her lips with a napkin and approached him with open arms. "Tony!" she said happily, giving him a hug.
"Hello, mother dearest," Tony said, returning the hug with a few pats. With Howard, he simply exchanged a fist bump.
"Hey, I saw you on the news," Howard said with a smirk.
"I'm on the news?" Tony asked curiously.
Howard scoffed, "When soone with our na does sothing, it's always on the news."
Tony pulled out his phone and searched for his na, finding a headline that read: 'Genius Philanthropist, Master Inventor, Now An Aweso Hero? What Could Be Next?'
"Damn, it's only my first day interning…" Tony muttered.
Howard chuckled, "Like I said, when soone with our na does anything, it's front-page news."
"So why are you here? I thought you'd head ho straight from your internship," Howard asked.
Tony scoffed, "And risk Mom being angry at for not visiting while I'm nearby? Do I look like I have a death wish?"
Howard laughed loudly, "Smart kid."
Maria pouted slightly, "I'm not that scary…"
Both Howard and Tony looked at her for a mont before twirling their hands side to side, saying in unison, "Ehhhhh."
They chuckled as Maria rolled her eyes. "Anyway, are you staying for the night?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Sorry, I can't. I have a commitnt after this."
"Aww," Maria said sadly. "At least eat sothing while you're here. You must be starving after your internship, and I won't take no for an answer, young man."
"Sure," Tony said, not minding.
"Good," Maria nodded.
...
After eating, Tony said goodbye to his parents. "I'll visit you guys tomorrow as well."
After a final farewell hug, Tony flew back ho through the night skies. "Friday, where is lissa currently?" he asked.
"She's still spending ti with her father, Boss," Friday replied.
"Alright then, send i Hatsu a ssage. We can begin her internship. Arrange a ride to pick her up since it's pretty late."
"Right away, Boss," Friday said.
It didn't take long for Tony to arrive ho. As soon as he did, he headed to his lab to organize so things.
"Boss, your intern has arrived," Friday inford him.
Tony went upstairs and opened the door to find i Hatsu standing there with an excited expression and a large suitcase in hand.
"Are you sure you're here to intern and not to move in?" Tony asked with a chuckle as he helped her with her things.
i giggled happily. "These aren't just things—they're my babies that I hope to improve!"
"I had a feeling," Tony said, amused. "Anyway, co on in. Sorry for calling you over so late."
i shook her head. "It's fine! I know you have your own internship to worry about. I don't mind."
Tony led i to his lab, and her eyes lit up with excitent. "Ooooh, so this is where the baby-making happens!" i said, practically bouncing on her feet.
"What does this do? And that? Why is it shaped like that? Can you take that apart and put it back together so I can see how it's made? What's this made of? Why is it so shiny? What's the purpose of this?"
i darted around the lab, pointing at various gadgets and asking a million questions before Tony even had a chance to answer.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down!" Tony said, motioning for her to calm down.
i rubbed the back of her head in embarrassnt. "Sorry, I just get really excited when it cos to stuff like this."
"I don't mind your enthusiasm," Tony assured her. "Enthusiasm and inventing go hand in hand, so you have nothing to worry about. But you do need to slow down a bit. Let's start with the basics."
i nodded eagerly and sat in an available chair, pulling out a notebook and pen from her luggage.
"First things first," Tony began, "when dealing with support items, you need to focus on three key aspects: functionality, looks, and portability."
i wrote down "Functionality," "Looks," and "Portability," drawing an arrow towards them and writing "Important" next to it. She then raised her hand.
"Yes?" Tony asked.
"I understand why functionality and portability are important," i said with a serious expression, "but why do looks matter? It shouldn't matter how my babies look as long as they work as intended."
"It's for your buyers—or in other words, the heroes," Tony explained. "Heroes care deeply about how they appear to the public. They don't want to carry around items that make them look unreliable or, worse, like an idiot. And the public—the ones being saved—also care about how the hero looks. They want to feel confident in the person saving them, and appearance plays a part in that."
"I see," i said, nodding as she wrote it down.
...
When lissa arrived ho, she didn't find Tony on the top floor. "Friday, is Tony ho?"
"Yes, ma'am, he's down in his lab—"
*Boom!*
Friday's words were interrupted by an explosion, startling lissa. She rushed down to the lab to see black smoke rising toward the ceiling and Tony shouting.
"Damn it, i! I told you to do it slowly! There's no need to rush!"
"I'm sorry!" i cried out in apology. "I got too excited when I was close to finishing, and it exploded!"
lissa blinked, trying to process the scene. "Huh?" she muttered to herself.
